testimonials

Dunja Chiedozie feels profoundly grateful and humbled to be able to share her excitement about the thrilling field of fitness with her exceptional clients, many of whom have become friends over the years. It is an honor and a privilege beyond words.

"Dunja has been a motivator for me for over 2 1/2 years. From when I was trying to get back into my jeans after my first baby, to staying fit through my next pregnancy and keeping me in shape after having two kids...Dunja has helped me achieve all of it. She is fun, energetic and truly works her best to give you the best workout. People might be sceptical of how good such a mommy and me workout can be. TRUST ME, it's tough and it gets the job done. I love working out with Dunja and having my baby come along for the ride. My daughter loves playing with the other kids just as much I love the company and the empowerment of a great workout."

"I have been training with Dunja for almost 5 years. I try to run as often as I can, but I rarely have time to do any sort of strength training. Dunja's workouts have allowed me to do both. When I used to go with my kids in the stroller, it was a great way to workout outdoors and not have to get a babysitter. Now that both of my kids are at Caedmon, I still go once a week because I absolutely love the workout. Dunja is an excellent trainer and very motivating."

"Momsofsteel is a great workout for moms of all ages and stages. I joined about 4 years ago when my first child was 6 months old. I am still working out with Dunja now that my children are 4 years and 21 months old. I think it's great that I get to excercise with my children in Central Park all year round. I have met lots of new moms who have turned out to be great friends. My children have met their best friends through Momsofsteel, too. After 4 years of attending Dunja's classses I still get sore after a workout. Thank you, Dunja."

"What Dunja doesn't tell you on her website is that she is a fantastic trainer for those of "certain age". She knows how the aging process affects our bodies and what is approppriate at each of life's stages. Following my hip replacement, I couldn't have had a better and more knowlegable trainer then Dunja. She pushed me just the right amount, yet without coddling. She is strict; she knows how the body functiones and why , and she is fun. If you are serious about exercise, Dunja is your person."

" I have worked out with Dunja in Central Park for more than 5 years and now with each of my 3 kids. I really appreciate being able to get a full cardio and strength workout in an hour. Dunja loves what she does and it shows. She is alwas finding ways to make me stronger and more fit - more jumpsquats, more pushups, nudging me to go faster up the hill. And not only do I feel fantastic, it has been great to get off all that baby weight each time! Thanks, Dunja!"

"I have been coming to Moms of Steel classes for almost three months and I would recommend them to anyone! You get a full body workout with both strength training and cardio in a fun atmosphere with other moms, not to mention the convenience of being able to bring your baby along. The workouts continue to challange me every time, yet Dunja does a fabulous job of adapting the class for beginners. I am probbably in the best shape I have ever been in thanks to Dunja."

"Dunja is a knowledgeable and dedicated trainer, whose enthusiasm and love of physical fitness is contageous. When we work out together, I am inspired by her gracefulness. She sets an example that makes me want to work harder to look graceful, too. She has an amazing understanding of the body's interdependent systems and adjust the exercises for particular needs and has intelligently and responsably helped me reach levels of fitness that I never could have imagined. One of the biggest surprises was when out walking the hills of L.A. one day, I actually stsrtred running - totally unplanned and so rewarding!"
